Gtk/Gnome Applictions with ugly fonts

[Patrick Steiner]

hi,

i have got 2 fedora machines with fedora 8 on them.

one with an fresh installed fedora 8 and the other one was always
upgraded via yum. i think i started with fedora 3 on this machine.
now the problem is, that i always have to run gnome-settings-daemon to
get nice fonts / apperance for gtk/gnome apps ala firefox or openoffice.
but on the fresh installed machine there is no gnome-settings-daemon
required.

who could this be?

regards,
patrick

I'd suggest installing gtk-qt-engine, then goto
Kcontrol -> Appearance&Themes -> GTK Styles & Fonts
*check* "Use my KDE fonts in GTK applications"
